snail shell on the glass of a broken thermos

There were lots of snails in the woods - some of them had very lovely coloured shells.

This was taken as a bit of an experiment, with a +10 diopter added to the EOS (basic 18-55mm lens).

This photo does not do justice to this pillbox It is just like a Cumberland type pillbox with a snailshell entrance and three sand bag ledges inside. There was also a sand bag building attached that was lived in after the war by a family untill the 50s when it was pulled down.

Hongluo Temple Park, Beijing

snail meets rising sun and me

O'Melveny Park is L.A.'s second largest behind Griffith Park. The park was severely damaged in the massive Sayre Fire in November 2008. I think this is a charred snail shell.

"Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin!" (not quite the foreseen context...)

Testing out a cheap macro add-on lens. Good quality, but a razor-thin depth of field.

my boy is away for a few days in our home town. Since study is over for 4.5 months, and in spite of being in the shop everyday my house is squeaky clean. Doesn't make up for the empty bed though.

There were snail shells just floating.
